I think if she can match the Belgian it’d be ok?KJT clears 1.92 at the 3rd attempt, she needed that, needs to get near her British Record of 1.98.
Edit commentator just said the same thing, must be reading bluemoon

Would be good for her to get a lead on Thiam here, but both are pretty well matched on this. It's the shot put/javellin where Thiam is in a class of her own, but KJT can hopefully smash her on the track events. She looked quick, and Thiam didn't look in great form there - which could also impact the long jump. KJT looking better than I'd expected so far.
Matched her on the high Jump, she'd have expected to give up points there.I think if she can match the Belgian it’d be ok?

KJT needs to get near her lifetime best for the throws. They're her weak point.

I think KJT will be happiest after 2 events. She wouldn't have expected to be leading after those 2. She needs to stay competitive on the throws, close to PB's.

Yeah she's where she wants to be that's for sure. Hall is definitely a contender as well with her opening performances. Like you say, going to need to be bang on it in the shot put and javelin and hope the others aren't at their usual level.
